2015-04-19 Thread Mitch
Attached are HV5122 and Z570M series parts for Diptrace. The HV5122 pattern is a PLC44 socket. Both were made from existing parts. I have no idea how close there are, but sooner or later I'll find out. The nixie pattern is one layer. I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it. On

I actually designed and built a FLW clock out of IV-4/IV-17s; they’re quite nice little tubes and currently still reasonably easy to get on the e-site. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/709108/iv4lw.JPG And here’s a short movie of an older version of the clock “walking the tree” as was

Very nice... I have bought 10 IV-4's just for this kind of thing. If you decide to go open please share. BTW... which processor are you using? Gastón On Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 8:00:45 PM UTC-3, koolatron wrote: I actually designed and built a FLW clock out of IV-4/IV-17s; they’re quite

IN-12a and IN-12b both have upside down 2 and 5s, the only difference is the digit dots on them. They are Russians, aimed for efficiency, so no. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

That totally worked! but I did the wiring when the 170v is on, and got zapped, threw my only 220k ohm to nowhere. DAW -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

I suggest you add a power-on indicator; it only requires a few milliwatts and it could save your life. Also, it's wise to put a large resistor across each DC supply to discharge the capacitors, especially the HV ones, when the power is off. Nixies will extinguish around 120-150V, so just
